Paris Saint-Germain makes a perilous trip in theory but unbalanced on paper in Saint-Etienne this Saturday. While Parisians could, under certain very specific conditions, be sacred champions of France from this weekend, the Greens fight harsh to maintain the elite. A meeting with the challenges diametrically opposed in a Geoffroy-Guichard stadium which will sound hollow on the visitors side, their supporters being prohibited from travel.
Paris, a crown at hand?
With 19 points ahead of its Marseille runner -up after its victory in the classic before the truce, PSG flies over Ligue 1. If the “mass has been said for a long time” according to observers, the title could be mathematically acquired this Saturday in the event of a favorable scenario (OM defeat, PSG victory and null in the Azurean derby). Unbeaten this season, Luis Enrique's men even aim at records, like that of the longest series of invincibility outside in the big championships, owned by AC Milan (38 games), which they would equal by not losing in Forez.
Despite the perspective of the title and the records, Luis Enrique keeps his group under pressure. “There are still eight championship matches and we want to be competitive because it will give us an ideal preparation for the other competitions,” warned the Spanish technician, evoking the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Aston Villa and the Coupe de Coupe de France. This trip could thus be an opportunity to manage playing times, especially after the international break, even if Paris will be deprived of Kang-in Lee, Senny Mayulu (suspended) and Achraf Hakimi (rest).
Greens looking for a feat for survival
For AS Saint-Etienne, the equation is simple: take points to get out of the red zone. Currently 17th, the men of Eirik Horneland hope for a small miracle against the Parisian ogre to win a first victory since early January and still believe in maintenance. Boosted by the prospect of recovering three points on the green carpet following the stop of their match in Montpellier, the Stéphanois cling. However, they know that their assessment against PSG is catastrophic (no victory in the last 27 confrontations).
In their cauldron, where they gleaned most of their points, the Greens will try to resist as long as possible. For this, they will have to correct their recurring difficulties at the start of the match, they who have one of the worst attacks and the worst defense of Ligue 1 in the first period. Faced with the Parisian firepower, symbolized by a large -sided Ousmane, the mission promises to be almost impossible, but the need for points could transcend the Stéphanois.
